Program attributes
We are excited about the upcoming season and would like to share with you some of the attributes of our program this year. 

Three Practices Weekly – Players train three times per week, totaling 4 hours of on-ice development.

Power Skating – Focused sessions to improve edge work, stride efficiency, balance, and overall skating technique.  Training will be provided by Twist High Performance Hockey with Scott Atkins.

Individual Skill Development – Dedicated time each week for stickhandling, shooting, passing, and puck protection. We've invested in specialized skill development equipment that will be used on the ice to enhance player growth and engagement.

Elite Off-Ice Training – Through our partnership with the University of Waterloo Varsity Strength & Conditioning Program, players receive high-level dryland training focused on strength, speed, and injury prevention.

Video & Game Analysis – Using Hudl and InStat, players and coaches break down practices and games to improve hockey IQ, positioning, and decision-making.

Thank you, Drayton and U14 staff
